Praise the Sun! The Steam Summer Sale of 2016 delivers us massive discounts for all kinds of games. Indie or AAA, it doesn’t matter; none are safe from the rock-bottom prices dictated by Lord Gaben! There are tons of delectable discounted games – thousands, even – but double edged element in the sale is that it can be tremendously difficult to sift through the slosh of Steam keys to find the true and grand jewels of the industry.

In comparison with the discount and the level of meat in a game, we bring you 10 titles that are just absolutely the most bang per buck; titles that you’ll definitely want Steam codes for. These are hands-down amazing games that are selling right now for $10 or less. Of course, it goes without saying that big AAA games like Fallout, Skyrim, or pretty much any popular title that have low prices will not be mentioned here. They get enough attention as it is, with or without the sale. Instead, these titles are going to be games that you may not even know exist but are damn worth the cash. So, without further ado, here are the 10 gems that you definitely have to grab a Steam cd key for.

1. The Talos Principle Steam Keys

Let’s start off with one beautiful game: Croteam’s The Talos Principle. This title, while it was well received and has critical acclaim, didn’t do too well in the mainstream market of generic CoDs and GTAs. It is, however, the best puzzle game since the Portal series. It has some of the most astonishing visuals, intricate puzzle designs, and fantastic story for a game in its genre, with a lot of content to boot. It’s currently on sale for $9.99.

2. Transistor Steam CD Key

This is another title that pretty much went under the radar of the mainstream gaming community. Well, while all games on this list are technically those kinds of games, Transistor was up for some honors in the game industry, but missed out against bigger budget titles.

An RPG at heart but built around action at the same time, Transistor has some crazy wonderful elements that focus on the palatable visual aesthete of the discerning gamer. Combat mechanics, fantastic graphics, gravely haunting music, and voiceover work that pay attention to extreme detail, Transistor is one of those titles that you know was made with tons of love. Going at a price of of $4.99, you can’t ever go wrong with it.

If you’re a fan of tactical RPGs with rich plot, then Transistor might be the next game for you. Made by the same developers as Bastion, Transistor is a game about a singer without a voice and a man without a body, fighting their way through robot hostiles in a computer system-like city. Increase your steam account value and find out more about the game in the article below.

“Look, whatever you’re thinking, do me a favor; don’t let go.”

Play as Red on your Steam Account

The game centers around a famous singer named Red, set in the cyberpunk city of Cloudbank, who loses her voice. After being attacked by the Process, a robotic force commanded by a group called Camerata, Red is transported all the way across Cloudbank and comes into possession of the Transistor—a mysterious great sword-like weapon she was supposed to be assassinated with. The Transistor is buried into the chest of an unnamed man who seems to be in a close relationship with her, now slumped over and dead. However, his consciousness and voice seems to have been absorbed by the Transistor, along with Red’s voice. For reasons unknown, the Camerata continues to track Red and the Transistor down with The Process, wanting to retrieve the weapon from her.

Explore Cloudbank on your Steam Account

Cloudbank appears to be a densely populated urban area with skyscrapers packed closely together. It has multiple vertical layers connected by staircases, while some blocks are connected by bridges suspended in the sky. Highways that serve as roads run through the city of Cloudbank. A prominent feature of the buildings is the equilateral triangles that serve as a common design element. Another striking feature is that Cloudbank can transform based on popular votes carried out in the OVC terminals. If people vote for a building to change its shape, or the sky to change color, or the weather to be different, it will happen as long as the majority votes for it.

Fans theorize that Cloudbank is not really a city, but rather, a virtual simulation—a living world inside a computer system. There are a great deal of computer-related concepts in the game such as firewalls, terminals, and administrators, including the name of the city itself, referring to “cloud” that can take place over a data “bank”. As for currency, there is no mention of money being used for purchasing anything in Cloudbank. Despite this, there seems to be no conflict nor class struggles or even poverty in the city. Cloudbank is a strange opposite to the dystopian archetype found in cyberpunk fiction. The citizens themselves may not even be human, since their Traces (counterpart for souls) can be downloaded and stored on the Transistor as if they were data, without need for their bodies to exist.

Gameplay Mechanics on your Steam Account

Transistor adapts an isometric point of view. The player controls the character Red as she travels through a series of locations, battling enemies known collectively as the Process in both real-time combat and a frozen planning mode referred to as “Turn”. Using Turn drains the action bar, which refills after a short delay. Until it is full again, Red cannot use Turn, or almost any other ability. Players can map out a series of movements and actions to take and then execute them instantaneously. Afterwards, Red must dodge enemies until her Turn fills again. Red is awarded experience points after battles depending on the enemies defeated. The Transistor gains in power equivalently as Red gains levels. The Transistor also has the ability to absorb the essence of fallen victims of The Process which enables Red to gain new abilities called Functions. Functions may be equipped as one of four unique techniques, or as an enhancement on another, equipped technique.

Defeat the Process on your Steam Account

Transistor received generally positive reviews from different gamers as it is truly a one of a kind experience with its beautiful artwork, captivating storyline, and its unique battle system. The concept of the game is fresh: a cyberpunk utopia that functions like a computer program, a city that changes according to the majority of its citizens’ preferences, and a mysterious relationship between a sword and a girl. Despite being a heroine without a voice, Red stands out on her own, and is one of the most loved female protagonists among various genres of video games.
